This July and August, you can try one of these 100 highly-rated homes, at all price points, and experience a local’s view of Sonoma. 24-hour check-in, Instant Book, and local wine and snacks let you just sit back and enjoy your trip.

Set in lovely, quiet surroundings in rural South Cumbria. This home is a great place from which to visit both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. I offer one double room and one twin- bedded room and a full English or continental breakfast.

This is my family home with a lovely garden and stunning views in every direction and is quiet and peaceful, ideal for a relaxing retreat.
There is a choice of a double room or twin bedded room. The double room, with far-reaching views, has an en-suite shower and sink, whilst the twin room has exclusive use of a downstairs shower room. Both rooms share a toilet/sink room. Tea and coffee making facilities are in the rooms, toiletries and towels are provided. A small fridge is available for perishable goods. The rooms are £60 each for two or more nights. The price for a single night is negotiable on enquiry, depending on the time of year.
I can offer a choice of full English or continental breakfast with vegetarian options available. Please let me know your requirements when booking. There is a good range of local pubs and restaurants nearby, serving food all day. Something to suit every taste from fish and chips and Pizza Express to fine dining.
The house and garden are not suitable for babies and toddlers.
In the summer months, the conservatory is a delightful space in which to eat and relax, however during the cooler months you might take advantage of the sitting room with its log burner and TV. There is plenty of space to be private should you want that. All of this is negotiable.
I am happy to spend time with you if you would like that and I can provide maps, ideas of places to visit or walk, packed lunch or be your guide on a day out if I have no other commitments (There would be a reasonable charge to cover fuel and additional food. I would also need some notice to shop for food for packed lunches)

I welcome guests from all over the world who wish to explore the North of England. This peaceful neighbourhood has lovely walks from the doorstep, both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks are within 20 miles drive, and the Cumbrian coastline is only 5 miles from here. There are also a number of historic houses (Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall within 2 miles), tourist attractions (Heron Corn Mill, South Lakes Wildlife Park), interesting towns and villages (Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal, Grange-over-Sands and Cartmel) and a world-famous bird reserve within easy travelling distance.
This is a rural location with a very infrequent bus service to Kendal and Oxenholme Station. Whilst I have had visitors without their own transport, this is becoming increasingly difficult. Ideally, guests need to have their own car or bikes.
I have a well-behaved boxer dog, who loves to be everyone’s friend, and for that reason, I would want to do some negotiation before welcoming other pets to my home.
My preference would be to host people who are part of a couple or a group of friends, whatever gender. Single women travellers would also be welcome.

The house is so lovely and peaceful and Heather is so nice that she prepared almost everything we need for us. She also gave us very useful advice for us to travel in the Lake District.

ChongxuanOctober 2016

Heather was a delightful host and made us feel very much at home. She was so friendly and always happy to give advice and suggestions for places to see in the area. The house was lovely as well. We had the upstairs level all to ourselves. The breakfast was also delicious, she had clearly gone to a lot of trouble. We would definitely recommend!

KimMay 2016

Place was a little tricky to find, but worth it! Beautiful countryside stay, breakfast was great and Amber (the Boxer) is the best. Heather has put in a lot of work to ensure guests are comfortable, and have lots of material on nearby points of interest worth exploring. She recommended a great hiking spot

MarkApril 2016

No amount of praises can do this justice. For my parents and I, this is the ideal place to stay in while traveling around Lake District. Heather is a very warm and friendly host and spared no efforts into making sure that we feel welcome. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped with guides of the area along with a beautiful view of the scenery. The dog (photo included in the listing) is both boisterous but well-behaved - you'll be friends on the very same day of arrival, but you can be sure the dog will not intrude into your rooms.

WeiyangOctober 2015

Heather was simply the perfect host. Her directions, cooking, standard of cleanliness and hospitality were all far beyond what was expected. She made the stay a joy and we can highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was superb!

DavidAugust 2016

To make it simple: This is definitely one of my best experiences with Airbnb!

YichenSeptember 2016

A great stay, Heather made us feel very welcome. The house is clean and warm in a great rural location. Wonderful breakfast!

We had a lovely stay at Heather's place. The house is in a beautiful location. Very comfortable, just like home.

Lovingly restored 5* 1965 Castleton Caravan with plumbed in shower room and underfloor heating!
King size bed with crisp white linen, towels and toiletries provided (Laundry service available). Fully equipped and a perfect retreat for 2 with breakfast hamper upon arrival.
Idyllic location easily accessible from Oxenholme Railway Station and Junction 36 on the M6.
Private parking patio and garden with amazing views and a great pub at the end of the lane.
Guest manager available.

The caravan suits someone looking for a unique place to stay accessible to the Lakes with everything you need, kitted out with modern amenities and every detail thought of including breakfast and toiletries. Though we didn't personally meet Harriet, she was a lovely host who gave great directions and recommendations and was quick with the communication. Caravan possibly a bit snug for tall people, but for us it was perfect! Would absolutely recommend.

HannahSeptember 2016

The nicest caravan we'll probably ever stay in! We kept finding our selves saying 'Thats so clever!' many times during our stay because every little bit of available space had been utilised and decorated so well with some really posh furnishings. Ample storage, a small fridge, a hob, UNDER FLOOR HEATING, comfortable and surprisingly large fold out bed. it might look small but its got so much going on and it smells so lovely! The area is incredibly quiet and peaceful everything you would expect from a rural setting, however we found ourselves getting 4G mobile network coverage (O2) Really handy for planning forward journeys and checking the unpredictable Cumbrian weather weather. The only thing I feel the need to point out is any tall or broad persons planning a stay may find the shower... an experience. i'm of average height and found the shower cramped. This being said the shower is surprisingly powerful and providing you have a sense of humour it shouldn't be a problem and actually adds character to the caravan. So forget everything you know about cold, damp and smelly caravans and enjoy a relaxing stay in this sweet smelling, compact tin cottage!

CharlySeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Harriet's caravan. It's in a lovely secluded place, no noise at all in a private little garden, yet only a 5 minute drive from Kendal. We were greeted to a very warm and friendly reception from Harriet's parents who where very pleasant to deal with and explained everything to us. The caravan has everything you could need for a small break and is much more fun and cosy then a hotel room. It was very clean and they even provide us with a little breakfast hamper for the morning. We will definitely be returning for another visit and even the rain didn't dampen our experience. It was a absolute pleasure and we both really enjoyed. I highly recommend this little place and we will definitely be making a return visit. Thankyou once again

LukeMay 2016

We absolutely loved our stay in the caravan, it was in an excellent location and was lovely and cosy. The breakfast hamper was really nice the caravan had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! ❤️

SophieAugust 2016

Fantastic stay, really enjoyed are time there, highly recommended !

markJune 2016

What a beautiful and unique experience! The caravan is in a gorgeous location, with idyllic views of the lush countryside from every window. It is in the perfect spot to access the Lakes from, if you like a bit of peace and quiet after a busy day of activity! The caravan itself is impeccable and has been restored beautifully. It was quite inspiring! It was warm and cosy, with everything we could have needed (including a very comfortable bed, large fluffy towels, toiletries, tea and coffee, bread and butter, milk, a selection of cereals and mini Kendal mint cakes to sample). There wasn't anything Harriet hadn't thought of! We enjoyed reading books and brochures that had been provided, with information about the local area. We even went on one of the walks featured in one of the walking guides! Harriet also gave us some recommendations about restaurants and places to visit locally, which we were grateful for! We had a wonderful time and staying in the caravan was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday! We would happily recommend this to others who are lucky enough to visit the area. Thanks again!

Heversham Hall is an historic home built in 1485 and offers a wealth of original features which add to its unique atmosphere and character. Situated at the the gateway to the Lake District yet with views of the Estuary at Arnside. Truly magical.

Dating back to 1485, Heversham Hall offers a wealth of features such as open fireplaces, stone floors and beautiful leaded and stone mullioned windows. Bedrooms are characterful and beautifully decorated. The garden enjoys views of the coastline and distant hills of the lake district.
Guests are welcome to use the garden for breakfast/ afternoon tea and there is a guest study. Our bedrooms are TV free zones but TV is available in the study.
I am happy to help guests make the most of their stay by offering advice on where to walk, eat, shop and visit. I also offer to cook dinner on request.

I love this area because of the variety of what is on offer. The Lake District, the bay (Look up Cross Bay Walk), the beautiful homes (Eg Levens Hall), the shopping and the arts (Abbot Hall, Brewery Arts, Kendal) .... and all so accessible!
Oxenholme Lake District is a 10 minute drive and there are fast services to London, Edinburgh and manchester airport. The M6 is very accessible. I would advise a car to get around once you are here.
I offer hosted stays at Heversham for groups of 6 people. 3 nights including 2 dinners and breakfast with use of the house and garden for £495 per couple.

Leslie is a fantastic host. Not only she met us in person and accompanied with her car when we arrived almost 2h later than planned (thanks for the famous flight discount company), but also went above and beyond to convince the pub to serve us a dinner at almost around 9pm. This is how early they usually close down. Should I say how delicious and fresh the food was? A-ma-zing.. The next morning she served us and another travellers in her AB&B with a great breakfast - including fresh yogurt and fruits, as well as traditional breakfast, - and was so engaging during the conversation.. Her house is another gem to note. This is an old one either being an assembly hall in later mid ages, or even a church. And Leslie does amazing work keeping it authentic and stylish in a modern way same time. Myself and my partner had only one regret: we just booked one night with Leslie place! Should we have another opportunity to visit Scotland, we're absolutely aiming to visit her and repeat this outstanding experience. As we've both been travelling a lot for the last three years and mainly with AB&B, this is indeed a great place and a perfect host we have had so far.

KrestinaSeptember 2016

Thank you Leslie, she was very accommodating especially with last minute changes to our plan. Great Breakfast, beautiful house and lovely amenities. Will definitely recommend.

The perfect location for exploring The Lake District. Newly renovated, a 200yr old former Coach House with oak beams, woodburning stove, fully fitted kitchen with coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave etc and a gorgeous private lawned cottage garden with patio & BBQ. Peace and tranquility. Perfect for couples, families & dogs. Walks and bike rides from the door. We are on the edge of the national park and less than 30mins from Windermere. Only 10mins from the M6. Free wi-fi and central heating.

We have lovely comfy beds sleeping 5 people, and downstairs a leather Chesterfield, separate sofa and single armchair where you can sit and watch the cows and sheep come to say hello at the bottom of the garden. There is a delightful sunroom with south facing views over the garden and the fields beyond. The bathroom has a freestanding double ended bath made for two, and a separate invigorating shower. A luxurious bath, then snuggle up in front of the woodburner with a good book and glass of bubbles. You deserve it.
You have a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, fitted fridge, oven, microwave and nespresso coffee machine. The separate utility room has a fridge freezer and washer, and loads of secure space for bikes and muddy boots.
We only live a couple of miles away so are on hand to deal with any queries or advice you might need; from choosing a fell walk in the Lakes to asking about the best places to eat.
We have loads of information in the cottage and lots of books to read if you prefer a lazy day to sit in the beautiful garden with a nice glass of wine.
You can arrive at any time; there is a keycase in the porch for you to let yourself in.

We are only half an hour from Windermere and then the Central Lakes, yet less than 10 minutes from the M6 Junction 36. You will be surrounded by open countryside. No noise here to disturb your sleep except maybe owls hooting. Fancy a little star gazing? No streetlights to spoil the view. South Cumbria is noted for its eating places; loads of choice from yummy pubs or choose from our 4 Michelin starred restaurants if you prefer.....
You could escape from the car for the week if you like and bring your bikes on the train. We are only a couple of miles bike ride from Oxenholme station which is on the main west coast line between London Euston and Glasgow. Within 3 hours of leaving London you could be here. Get an Internet shop organised?
Health and Safety
There is a stream below a wall at the bottom of the garden. A fence protects against accidental falls but children should be supervised at all times in the garden. Also, be aware that the limestone flags on the patio can be slippy when wet.
Bringing a Dog? - We charge £20 which will be added to your quote on booking.
Central heating, bed linen and towels are all included.

Coach House was a lovely getaway on the edge of the Lake District. We used it as a comfortable base from which we could get out and explore the whole region. The house itself is beautifully newly renovated and has all the amenities one needs. The host kindly provided a number of local brochures and books that recommended hikes that we very much enjoyed with our 7-year old son. We would come back here in a heartbeat and very much enjoyed our stay.

My place is close to public transport, parks. You’ll love my place because of the views and the location.
This area is fantastic for access to the Lake district, the Yorkshire Dales and the Arnside/Silverdale Coast. There are many walks including two deer parks within 1 mile of the house. I am an outdoors sort of person so have endless ideas about what to do & where to go outdoors. The local town has a market on a Friday. Kendal is 10 minutes drive away.
The house is quiet and relaxing.

The house is an upside down house. I has some parking at the front - it is in a quiet courtyard. The views from the back are just beautiful - not really captured in the photo. The room I am offering has an en suite toilet and shower.
You're welcome to us the lounge and I will leave some breakfast out for you to help yourselves to in the kitchen - bread, croissants, fruit, cereals, yoghurt, coffee, tea etc.
I also work so am not always around. I will try to be as available as I can be to help with questions, ideas for days out and maps etc.

It is quiet here and really tucked away. You will probably think you're on the wrong road when you come down the lane as it is adopted and looks like a back alley!! The neighbourhood is very safe.
There is a regular (hourly often) bus service that goes past the road about 2 minutes' walk away and links Lancsater to Keswick. Trains are accessed forom Arnside 10 minutes car journey away or Kendal Oxenholme - again 10 mins car journey away.

Contemporary style and traditional cottage character are perfectly combined in Limestone Cottage. The interior has been beautifully refurbished; retaining the charm of old oak beams and multi-fuel stove. Summer evenings will be well spent with a drink or two in the garden while the sun goes down.
Located in a quiet corner of the Lake District, Limestone Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Surrounded by scenic footpaths and cycling opportunities the village is a perfect base for a break in the countryside. Take a walk up Levens Park and see if you can spot the deer or cycle along the Lyth Valley or visit ther viewpoints on Scout Scar or Whitbarrow to enjoy magnificent views of the Lakeland Mountains. Levens Hall, an Elizabethan mansion standing in magnificent grounds and famed for its topiary gardens is just a short distance from the cottage, as is the medieval Sizergh Castle. Both the lovely market town of Kendal and the pretty coastal resort of Arnside are within easy reach of Levens and are well worth a visit. The popular Lake District destinations of Bowness on Windermere and Hawkshead are also only a short drive away.

-The Gateway to the Lake District and very convenient to both the M6 Motorway and the Main Train line to and from London.
-Ideal for an uncomplicated stay. As your host I have travelled extensively and also been a business traveller. I get it when you need your private space or you need some local tips.
-Clean and simple house with your own private space.
-Garden in summer and a Wood burner in winter.
-My Air BnB is good for couples, solo adventurers, and self employed business travellers.

I have tried to create a simple and relaxed airbnb but giving you the benefits of an efficient hotel. I have just come back from travelling and exploring the world. Before that I was in the corporate world staying in a lot of hotels. So hopefully I can give a good balance between corporate efficiency and local friendly travel for your visit.
Guests can use the whole of the downstairs, including the kitchen and lounge. There is also a garden to enjoy in summer time. If you are arriving by bike, especially as the property is on the LEJOG route, then I can help store and maintain your steed.
You tell me... sometimes guests just want to get in and have some private space, other times they are keen for some interaction. I won't be offended either way.

I am 5 mins from the M6 and a short drive to kendal and the Lake District National Park. I love being able to get into the hills and lakes and enjoy them without being stuck in tourist crowds and traffic.
Public transport is rubbish in the Lake District, however Oxenholme train station direct from London is a saviour. You will probably need a car or a bicycle to get around.
If you need a host to get you started in exploring the lakes and outdoor sports then I have a wealth of experience to share. If you want this extra hosting then please discuss your needs to see if I can achieve what you are looking for.

Family home in quiet rural area. Network of paths to explore from the doorstep. Garden and patio with hammock and BBQ.
We are near to the lovely town of Kendal with easy access from the M6. Perfect for exploring the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Howgills and Lune Valley.

This is a 4 bedroom family home. We live here with our 2 children and offer the house to caring guests while we are away on our own adventures.
This is a great base from which to explore the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales, Howgills and Arnside and Silverdale AONB.
We will have just gone away for a weekend or a short break ourselves so our family possessions are in the house, food in cupboards and clothes in drawers and wardrobes etc.
Full access to the whole house, garage and gardens. We will arrange details such as key collection by phone once booking is confirmed. We can also run through your specific requirements.
We may be contactable by mobile. There are neighbours nearby who can sometimes help.

Summerlands is a small hamlet of 30 houses, in a rural setting, just off the A65. There are no streetlights, so it is a good place for stargazing at night, and generally very quiet. It is very easy to access a network of footpaths from the doorstep.
5 minutes from Kendal and 5 minutes from the M6 by car. There is a bus route at the top of the lane (5 minutes walk) from which you can get into Kendal, or Kirkby Lonsdale, although these are infrequent. There are plenty of quiet lanes and bridleways nearby for bike rides.
We have only gone away for a weekend or short holiday ourselves so our clothes, food and other belongings are in the house.
We do not own a TV, but if you bring your own tablet etc you can access wifi for iplayer etc.
You would be welcome to use our spices, condiments and food in the cupboards, freezer etc. as long as you replace anything or let us know and leave a donation.
We are unable to provide wardrobe / drawer space.

Lovely and quiet place. Perfect for visiting the lakes. The house is very comfortable and David was a perfect host.

JechuOctober 2016

Our stay at David and Kate's was wonderful. From the moment we arrived we were made to fell very welcome and at home, and even though we were early we received a warm reception with all the help we needed. The property was very clean and tidy and spacious, with large comfortable beds. It was ideally situated for us on a quiet street a short drive from Kendal, and great surroundings for walking our dog we had with us. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and if we were ever in the area again it would be a pleasure to stay again. Thank you David and Kate for a lovely stay.

BenMay 2016

Thank you David and Kate.... We found David and Kate's home in a last minute decision to explore part of the Lake District with our family during half term break. Their home worked out perfectly for us - a family of 5, travelling with my mother-in-law (6 in total). Their home is within a short drive (20 - 30 minutes?!) of the lake and many of the things we wanted to explore. It was also affordable for us to stay in that region - especially given that we were looking for something so late. As they state in their review, this is their own family home that they are making available for use while they are away on vacation. We were well aware that their stuff would still be around the house. Kate and David were incredibly helpful, communicative and friendly, making it easy to navigate through their house.

WendyApril 2016

Had trouble finding house, on the car satnav we eventually got there by putting in Kendal instead of Endmoor. House was fine, but there was no TV. All bedrooms are up one or two flights of stairs.

We converted this Lakeland Hay barn in 1992 from its original working state and over the years it has evolved into a beautiful family home. We have character features of stone walls, wooden and natural floors a real log fire and exposed beams. This is a child friendly home with us having brought up our three children here and the facilities offered provide for family needs.
Set outside the hamlet of and overlooking Gatebeck on the side of a hill with views of the open countryside including the Lakeland fells. 'Canny Brow’ is derived from the Westmorland dialect ‘Coney Brow’ meaning the 'hill of rabbits’. Sheep and cattle are more prevalent now along with plenty of other wildlife. Our location is ideally situated for access into the Lake District, Yorkshire and Lancashire for access to the hills and dales with the market towns of Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale being only a short drive away. In the locality there is a riding school and for the more adventurous, off-road driving, quad biking and paint balling is available. Ideal if your group enjoys alternative activities.
Within walking distance is the village of Endmoor with shop, pub, children’s playground and tennis courts. If you prefer time to relax then our garden is ideal for this. The rear garden provides space for a decent sized badminton play area and the front of the house has a long garden for lounging and games or just kicking a ball around. In the garden there are various outdoor areas for sitting out and enjoying the views over the countryside. There is an eight seat external dining table and chairs at the bottom of the garden away from the house along with a large gas barbecue (gas included), an immediate seating area outside the front door in the herb garden and a rear York stoned yard beneath an extended canopy outside the barn door window suitable for casual seating and breakfast in the morning sun.
We are a rural location which generally means that vehicular access would be preferred, and there is parking for up to 5 cars. However, there is a bus service (567) from Endmoor village to Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale and Ingleton. Rail access is provided via Oxenholme railway station on the main West Coast line about 4 miles away.
All the areas illustrated in the photographs you will have full access to. This area comprises the majority part of the barn. We will be in the smaller part of the barn adjoining the main.
You can Check in after 4 pm and Check out is 11 am. If you need variations on this do let us know as we may be flexible and able to accommodate.
We will be on hand next door during your stay. We appreciate you will have come to get away from it all so will leave you to get on with your holiday.

Lovely home, plenty of space with beautiful decor and picturesque surroundings with easy access to the Lake District.

PhillipAugust 2016

We had a brilliant time at Canny Brow Barn for 3 nights in August for my Dads birthday. We were 7 adults and 3 little ones and there was plenty of space for us all. Before we arrived, Ian and Anne Marie were really helpful with directions and any questions I had. When we arrived, Ian and Anne Marie greeted us on the drive and showed us around the ground floor pointing out anything we needed to know. They then left us to enjoy our holiday but were completely contactable by phone or by knocking on their door next door! Anne Marie even checked on us on the second evening to ensure everything was ok. The house is beautiful and was spotless when we arrived. Each room is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The kitchen is also very well equipped and we made good use of the dishwasher! We also used the log fire on the last evening which was lovely whilst it was cold and wet outside! There are even cushions which can be used for the outdoor furniture. It's also easily accessible from the M6 and it's a perfectly quiet base to explore the lakes from. All in all, a brilliant trip and we will hopefully return!

MayboAugust 2016

It was an amazing family holiday. We were received with lots of excellent instructions, guides and tips to make the most out of our days in the Lake District, which always turned out to be awesome! You can instantly tell they're great people and very kind. Everything was mint clean and in perfect conditions, the view is amazing from the house and it's even better than in pictures. You will definitely not regret booking this place. Recommend it 100%. Thanks!

MarianoAugust 2016

A great place to stay! The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The barn is 10 minutes from a supermarket to stock up the brilliant kitchen. The kitchen is worthy of particular praise - obviously this place had been lived in, as they had supplied more than just the standard "8 plates, 8 bowls" - more than enough for the variety of meals we cooked. Bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate, and the living room space had a fabulous fire! Would highly recommend staying here - 20 minutes to the coast, 30 minutes to Windermere. Great stay!

ChristopherOctober 2016

Wonderful views - proximity to main line station (Oxenholme) perfect for our needs. Very helpful hosts.

MichaelAugust 2016

Our group (one small family, one couple, one single) had a wonderful time in the Canny Brow Barn. The building is marvelous, as is its surrounding. The pictures on Airbnb are quite accurate. Anne-Marie and Ian allowed us to use just any appliance in the house. For example, there was a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, a fireplace and also a new BBQ in the garden. Everything was clean and comfy and rather spacious for the six of us. We met Anne-Marie and Ian numerous times and they were always very helpful and made sure we had a great stay. Honestly, I would love to live in their house 24/7. Thanks again for being such great hosts!

JanAugust 2016

Canny Brow Barn is a lovely place to stay and Ian and Anne-Marie were very welcoming - they had even made us a cake when we arrived. We had everything we needed for our stay and were very comfortable. We had some great days out in the lakes during our stay and are hoping to return again soon.

SamAugust 2016

The barn was beautiful and had everything we needed and more. I stayed with my family (8 of us in total; 6 adults and 2 young children) and it worked really well for us all. The entire house was immaculate. It is set almost in the middle of nowhere (coming from a city girl!) but there are local amenities easily accessible by car and Lake Windermere is only around a half hour drive away. Right from the initial booking process Ian and Anne-Marie were extremely helpful and friendly and were always on hand to help with any queries and provide very thorough directions to the barn itself!

I am happy to help guests make the most of their stay by offering advice on where to walk, eat, shop and visit. I also offer to cook dinner on request.

I love this area because of the variety of what is on offer. The Lake District, the bay (Look up Cross Bay Walk), the beautiful homes (Eg Levens Hall), the shopping and the arts (Abbot Hall, Brewery Arts, Kendal) .... and all so accessible!
Oxenholme Lake District is a 10 minute drive and there are fast services to London, Edinburgh and manchester airport. The M6 is very accessible. I would advise a car to get around once you are here.
I offer hosted stays at Heversham . 3 nights including 2 dinners and breakfast with use of the house and garden for £495 per couple.

This is a unique historic house, beautifully decorated and very comfortably equipped with great modern bathroom, central heating and hot water. Use of a lovely sitting room is a bonus. Great attention from friendly and upbeat hostess Leslie. We much appreciated breakfast in a splendid setting, with log fire. Not to mention excellent advice about local hostelries. The surroundings are lovely - lots of scope for local walks, and places of interest to visit, plus easy access to the lake district of course. A great treat, very highly recommended.

Roland September 2016

Beautiful old house, interesting history. The bedrooms were lovely. Beds comfortable with top notch bedding. Breakfast was very tasty and comprehensive. Leslie is a wonderful hostess and I would definitely stay here again and recommend without hesitation.

ElaineOctober 2016

We were made to feel very welcome with tea in the garden and the house is lovely and homely while also being stylish. Leslie is a very warm person and we liked her immediately. The bed was comfortable and the room felt quite luxurious - this is more like a boutique hotel than a room in someone's home and this is reflected in the price. Breakfast was delicious. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here, it's a treat!

EleanorJuly 2016

Stunning, 15th century house with all the mod cons with a large bed, and lovely clean and stocked bathroom. House is in a really convenient location to get into the South Lakes or Morecambe bay. Lovely breakfast and attentive host!

This was a wonderful, peaceful stay. Susan had us well prepared with directions and tea ready to go. Would highly recommend this stay for visits to the area, we hiked in the southern Lakes.

BillJuly 2016

It's a really lovely little cottage - it is by a busy main road but the traffic dies down after about 6pm. It has a really nice garden and Susan was very welcoming.

AlanJuly 2016

Spring field cottage at Lupton is a great location from which to visit the Lakes if you have a car. It is only 10 mins from Kendal and about 20 mins to the Southern Lakes. It is a comfortable and clean cottage, and Susan a very friendly and helpful host. The pub across the road, The Plough Inn, was cosy and served good food.

We had a comfortable and peaceful stay at iains house which was set in the beautiful Lake District countryside. Great value for money.

Lisa July 2015

Very welcoming host, who went out of his way to accommodate us. Cottage is lovely, so as the room. Delicious breakfast, and we greatly enjoyed talking about pottery with Iain !

DavidMay 2015

We had a lovely stay in Rose Cottage. Good breakfast, super cosy bed and quiet room and what a gorgeous little village Brigsteer is. The pub down the road does the best food out we've eaten in a while and it was great to have our little pot throwing class with Iain on the last morning. Thanks Iain - We'll be back!

Steph April 2016

Ian's place was lovely and Ian was a very accommodating host. The room was well provisioned and very comfortable. Our stay was made all that much better with a fully cooked English Breakfast in the morning. The pub down the road, that Ian had recommended, had excellent food and is only a short walk away. An excellent place to stay on our Lake District adventure.

JacobFebruary 2016

The rooms are fully equipped. Both rooms have TVs and heating mattresses. We reached at Rose cottage at almost midnight. Iain welcomed us with hot tea & had a little chat with us before we off to bed. In the morning, Iain served a great breakfast for us that makes us feel really at home. In addition, he is an experienced potter and a superhost ! Thank you for the warm hospitality!

Nur AmirahMay 2016

We really enjoyed our stay in Iain's cottage. Nothing was too much trouble and the cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Lakes District. Brigsteer is a little unique in that there are at least five ways into Iain's place...all gorgeous, tiny little lanes...and our GPS took us in and out a different way (it seemed) each time!...Thank you for the hearty breakfast each morning Iain and for your insights into daily activities we could access.

JennyJuly 2016

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. You get a delightful and entertaining host, the room is spot on, the pub just up the road serves a first class dinner, and the breakfast that Iain provides is top notch. If you're looking for somewhere to stay in this lovely part of the world, don't miss this one!

ChrisAugust 2015

Iain was an awesome host. The place was just perfect for our girls get away and he made us feel very welcome! He provided us with a lot of advice for hiking the Lake district and offered to cook us a cute little breakfast. I would highly recommend.

Set in a small peaceful village by the tidal river Kent Estuary. The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodlands or just walk a few hundred yards out of the door and you can walk for miles along the beach, the scenery is stunning!

Beautiful traditional cottage With wood burning stoves/fires in the lounge and dining room plus full gas central heating, this cottage is very cosy. It has lots of charm, traditional style range cooker and wooden/stone floors. Has a fully equipped kitchen dishwasher etc. and washing machine in the small utility room. It is ideally situated for country walks in this designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The sea front is only 250 yards away and there is a great Pub The Ship Inn a similar distance.
The small village of Storth occupies a pleasant position on the estuary of the River Kent, and is situated on the border between Lancashire and Cumbria. The name Storth derives from the old Norse word meaning 'a woody place'. In the seventeenth century, Storth was a small hamlet with a few scattered farms in the outlying area. The main industries in the area were sheep farming, fishing and the gathering of cockles and mussels. Storth Sea Bank was built about 1776 along the lower part of the Kent Estuary.
The Kent Estuary is a haven for bird life, green shanks, golden plovers, mergansers and goosanders, oyster catchers and lapwings can all be seen along its shores.
There are some great walks near by - Beetham fairy steps is a lovely walk from the cottage, Arnside Knott with its stunning views of Morecambe bay and the lake district mountains with Arnside Tower Keep behind.
Or you can walk through the grounds of the beautiful Dallam Tower Estate.
With beautiful views all around this designated area of outstanding natural beauty there is much to see and enjoy just walking out of the door you can be in beautiful woodlands or walk along the stunning sands to Arnside and Silverdale.
Please make yourself at home while you stay at our cottage.
Guests are left in peace however should anyone need anything at all i'm always available on the phone.
Also the lady who looks after the cottage resides close by if assistance is required.

Storth Village is small and very quiet with very friendly neighbours which just has a handy community post office close by for convenience, but within a short drive there are the little towns of Milnthorpe and Arnside where you can buy all necessities.
There are great places to eat, pubs and restaurants nearby. The Ship Inn is just a short walk down the hill at the sea front.
There are Train stations not too far away at Arnside and Carnforth but essentially a car is required.
There is a parking space at the side of the cottage.
The cottage has wood burning fires and one bag of wood is provided.
Broadand is free to use. Discounts may be available for late bookings or longer holidays please enquire.
During the school holidays i prefer full week bookings however i will consider early short term bookings.

A wonderfully cosy cottage in a quaint little village a stone's throw from the natural beauty of the Lake District. An excellent, well-appointed, clean property. After a day of hiking, we couldn't think of anything better than relaxing in front of the fire with some board games. The cottage was as described, if not better! The Ship Inn was a lovely little pub with friendly locals, good food and drinks and a pool table. Booths in Milnthorpe is not too far away in the car and that's where we did our food shopping and bought extra wood for the fire. John provided an excellent itinerary with local knowledge and tips and was quick to respond to any queries. An excellent host. We only wish the cottage wasn't so warm and cosy or we might have explored more of his recommendations! Highly recommended for city types looking to get away from hustle and bustle and just... relax.

RajFebruary 2015

Great house- me and my two daughters loved it. Good directions and easy to find. Easy to get the keys - all smooth and well explained. Clean home with lovely bedrooms. My kids loved the 'downstairs upstairs' bathroom. It was warm and cosy. The nice folk in the shop were lovely and friendly. We did the fairy steps walk and flew kites on Arnside Beach which was great fun. Grizedale forest under an hour away and we completed Go Ape there. Great house to come home to. Would definitely go back as there's so much to do in the local area.

ElaineSeptember 2015

Fabulous cottage to stay at and in the most beautiful place too. The cottage is warm and cosy and spotlessly clean. Perfectly positioned for the Lake District. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

ClaireOctober 2015

We enjoyed our break in the Lakes. Met by Anne who welcomed us. Cottage as described, excellent for 4 people, but probably tight for 6. (eg Only one bathroom). Good wee (URL HIDDEN) good as home to prepare all meals. Enjoyed log burner on at night. Plenty hot water for showers. Great village and surrounding area. Locals so friendly!

KenMarch 2016

Lovely quiet village, there is a little traffic on the road to the front of the house but it did not bother us at all. The house was as described and John had provided plenty of local information of things to do and good eating places. Local pub served good food and was very friendly. The area is beautiful and this short break served to make us sure we would be back for a longer break soon. I would definitely recommend the house to anyone visiting the area.

JosephJuly 2016

A wonderful time in Storth! The cottage was both cosy and well presented, with some lovely touches - milk in the fridge, logs for the fire. We had a lovely family break & the location was ideal. Thank you John!

RebeccaMay 2016

The Sea View cottage is terrific, situated wonderfully near the Lake District, and with fantastic walks from the cottage.

Beautiful old house, very interesting history. Lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds and fine bed linen. The host, Leslie, is very friendly and informative and very helpful. Breakfast was served in the big hall and was very comprehensive with a choice of cereals and cooked. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

We are located in Oxenholme village, close to another village called Natland and two and half miles from the centre of the market town of Kendal. Both villages have a well stocked shop/Post Office. We are close to petrol stations, main west coast railway station (Oxenholme, Lake District), supermarket, artisan bread shop and an ice cream farm!! Kendal has a historical castle, quaint yards, art galleries & centre, individually owned shops & bars. For a town of its size there is an eclectic variety of quality eating venues including The Brewery Art Centre. The nearby Leisure Centre has many facilities including a 25m pool.
There are heaps of long & short walks literally on our doorstep, ”The Helm” a favourite walk with locals gives outstanding views of Kendal, the Lake District and Morecambe Bay, with Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall both within walking distance. The Lake District National Park is 5 miles to the North, the beautiful Morecambe Bay estuary 9 miles to the South and the Yorkshire Dales National Park approx. 10 miles to the East. The M6 (main North/South motorway) is 6 miles away with trains to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, London or Windermere just a 12 minutes walk through the village.
All these areas are full of attractions within their own right, ie. hiking, museums, heritage properties, fishing, boating to name but a few. Any advice on walks or places of interest can be forthcoming if required, just let us know your interests!!
Our detached home, built in the traditional style in the 30’s, originally as a bungalow, is centrally heated and double glazed with far reaching views of the surrounding countryside. The garden is large with ample seating areas, an ideal place to sit with a cup of tea after a long (or short) days walk.
Accommodation comprises of a spacious, light, well equipped room with heaps of storage space. Whilst not ensuite, there is a bath/shower room for your exclusive use. Also available is your own sitting room with TV, again for your exclusive use if required, or you can just sit and chat with us. Towels, spare duvet, hairdryer, etc. can be provided together with off road parking. Internet is available but just for checking your important email messages and local research for days out. You will see we have also put a check in time of 4pm, however, this is flexible according to other work commitments, so please let us know if you wish to arrive sooner and we'll see what we can arrange.
Continental breakfast is a help yourself affair, with plenty of choice available dependent on seasonality. Normally full cooking facilities are not available, but you are very welcome to bring back any takeaways, etc. We are more than happy to provide anything you need – cutlery, glasses, crockery, flasks, etc. There is a plentiful supply of tea/coffee plus hot chocolate should the weather determine!!

Private twin bedroom with private (non ensuite) bathroom. Use of private lounge with TV (free view only available) plus old fashioned stereo system. Internet access purely for checking emails and research on our local area (open times, how to get there, etc.) Anywhere in the garden.
Neither of us have conventional 9 to 5 jobs anymore, but we are more than happy to chat with you, maybe give you ideas of where to visit, however sometimes one of us may need to dash out to other work.

On the edge of a small village about 2 miles from the town of Kendal. Therefore we are out in the countryside and it is relatively quiet.
The main West Coast railway (Oxenholme, Lake District) is 12 mins walk, 2 mins by car. Edinburgh & Glasgow are then 2 hours away with Manchester 90 mins away in the other direction. You can also get to Windermere by train and that takes approx 20 mins. You can also get a train direct from Manchester airport to Oxenholme, The Lake District. Buses run into Kendal every half hour and is a 3 mins walk to the nearest stop. If you have you own car, there is ample parking at our property. You can then get to Lake Windermere in 20/25 mins, Ambleside 35/40 mins and Keswick 60 mins. If you want to go farther afield, Scotland takes approx 75 mins, Manchester the same and Liverpool a little bit longer.
The property has 2 smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide alarm.

Lovely country home. Great views. Jill and Graham were friendly, hospitable and helpful hosts. Breakfast was lovingly prepared daily. Clean, tidy and spacious rooms. We had our own sitting room and toilet. Couldn't have asked for better accomadation and hosts. Made our trip extra special! Thanks for being so fab, Jill and Graham!

Only a one night stay but it worked well for us. Nice accommodation and welcoming hosts.

Christine and RayJuly 2013

I came up to Kendal to do the planetFear KMF 10km Trail Run. Arriving late on Friday night Jill and Graham kindly offered to pick me up from Oxenholme train station, but I decided to do the short walk instead (about 15 minutes away). Jill and Graham are very hospitable, kind hosts and proud of their country living. The reviews are true the breakfast spread is yummy with many ingredients locally sourced from their garden! My race started Saturday morning and again they offered to drive me into Kendal which was fantastic. Saturday night I took a taxi back for just shy of £15, and Sunday I walked into Kendal which was a pleasant downhill walk into town. The house as mentioned was spotless and comfortable, a real home from home! I would have no problem recommending Jill and Graham to future Airbnb prospective customers!

TimNovember 2014

We had a most enjoyable four days in Jan and Graham's charming house. As hosts they couldn"t have been more courteous and helpful. We found the location excellent for our needs - good walking distance to station and restaurant (a bit far in the rain, admittedly!) - but moreso, there were wonderful local walks that we could take right from the house.

julieJuly 2016

We stayed at Jill and Graham's for four nights. It was out first Airbnb experience and it couldn't have been any better! Jill and Graham are fantastic welcoming hosts - very helpful, knowledgeable about the local area, friendly and, most importantly, have a great sense of humour! This combination made us feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. The house is very clean and comfortable, the garden is superb and so are the breakfast fruit from it! The neighborhood is quiet and cosy, with a couple of short walks (up a small hill with excellent views and into a lovely village). The Oxenholme train station is about 15 minutes walk and the rest of the Lake District is easily accessible by a car. Jill and Graham's home comes highly recommended!!!

AkvileJuly 2014

Jill and Graham were wonderful, welcoming, extremely helpful hosts. The room was very comfortable, clean and fresh, and you have a modern bathroom all to yourself and your own lounge room with TV. Excellent location to access the Lake District sights and very quiet and peaceful if that's what you're looking for. I would certainly stay here again, definitely for longer.

IlonaAugust 2013

It was a fantastic experience staying with Jill and Graham. They are such lovely people and made us feel at home! Jill and Graham are very thoughtful hosts and were great for offering us tips around the region, gave us a lift to the station and even provided us with a map when we went hiking! We came away with such great memories of the Lake Districts - thank you Jill and Graham!

MelissaMay 2013

Room was as described. Had separate sitting room and bathroom. Breakfast was included which was a bonus and the whole place was very clean and tidy. Stayed for four nights and the hosts are locals so they shared their extensive knowledge so it was great to see some places off the tourist path which I really enjoyed. They were very friendly, happy to have a chat and get to know you. Really helpful to have a car to get around the area as the place was a bit out of Kendal but not too far from Oxenholme station. About a half hour drive from Windemere but it's an easy drive. Also note there are no kitchen facilities as stated.

GillNovember 2015

A lovely cottage in the country side, it was a pleasure to stay. Iain was also very accommodating and friendly. Iain as a host and the standard of accommodation gets my recommendation. Thank you for a good experience.

Iain received me really well and even though I arrived really late he waited for me and even offered me a drink. We had the opportunity of sitting for a while for a chat before I went to bed. He has a display of his beautiful own pottery in the sitting-room and, I can imagine, the log fire being a wonderful welcoming feature in the cold winter months. Alas, this was summer so no fire but I was privileged to see summer flowers everywhere around in this most quaint, quiet little village in the Lake District. What struck me about Brigsteer was the stillness and lack of street lighting making it magical for evening star gazing. The room was nicely decorated, simply furnished and the bathroom was a shared facility with just another guest. Iain also made sure I had what a wanted for breakfast. I often go fell walking in the Lake District and this village was new to me. It is close enough to other parts of the Lakes. I would very much like to go back again.

DorothyJuly 2015

Iain was a very welcoming host - nothing was too much trouble. I was intrigued to find he was a talented potter -beautiful items for sale, so take some extra cash for a real treat! Bed comfy and beamed room lovely.Breakfast was delicious with the perfect teapot! The village was a delight and my dog and I enjoyed a couple of lovely walks in and out of the lanes. Wonderful views. Will definitely be back. Thanks Iain.
